1 year agoyeah to each their own, but my feeling was that the subpar episodes gave them time for better pacing, and character development. With these 10 episode seasons it always feels like barely getting through the overarching story, no time for subtleties or good character development and background episodes. Some of my favourite TNG/VOY episodes are the ‘filler’ episodes where the world wasn’t ending and they just had a fun adventure.
There wouldn’t be so many M1s if we didn’t keep absolutely nailing the design the first time around. M2? Nah perfection from the start
